Currently rate limiting is supported on TX side only via IOCTL call FM_PORT_IOC_SET_RATE_LIMIT. A user-space application has to be implement which opens the character driver interface of the TX port and issue the IOCTL. The rate_limit structure (mentioned below) has to be filled to implement the restriction. For example: fd = open ("/dev/fm0_port_tx5", O_RDWR); err = ioctl(fd, FM_PORT_IOC_SET_RATE_LIMIT, &fm_port); Structure to pass to the IOCTL: /**************************************************************************//** @Description@@ A structure for defining Tx rate limiting (Must match struct t_FmPortRateLimit defined in fm_port_ext.h) *//***************************************************************************/ typedef struct ioc_fm_port_rate_limit_t { uint16_t max_burst_size; /**< in KBytes for Tx ports, in frames for offline parsing ports. (note that for early chips burst size is rounded up to a multiply of 1000 frames).*/ uint32_t rate_limit; /**< in Kb/sec for Tx ports, in frame/sec for offline parsing ports. Rate limit refers to data rate (rather than line rate). */ ioc_fm_port_dual_rate_limiter_scale_down rate_limit_divider; /**< For offline parsing ports only. Not-valid for some earlier chip revisions */ } ioc_fm_port_rate_limit_t; Further information in the below link. http://www.freescale.com/infocenter/index.jsp?topic=%2FQORIQSDK%2F2283674.html
